The Lions Family Den: Summer 2011: June

The 2010/2011 school year ended on June 23rd and since then we've hit the ground into the summer running. We've been to the coast, visited Redmond over 4th of July to see my famiy and my highschool best friend Nicole (and her family) who were here from Italy. We've also done a few home improvement projects like creating a big boy room for Xavier, and having a fence built. It's seemed like we've been busy all the time, but there has definitely been a lot of relaxing and enjoying each others company and the company of our local friends.

Silly boy wanting to wrap his head in a towel like Momma after our shower

Sal and Ray painting Xavier's "Big Boy" room

X playing in his newly painted, yet still unfinished big boy room in his big boy "underwears"...if only he was truly potty trained...sigh, we've got a ways to go.

Playing in the fountains at the Portland water front...only moments after this shot he slipped and feel face first into one of the fountains and got a face full of water...he wasn't a happy camper.
